English

"...an incredibly relevant clinical-histopathologic text...useful for both pathologists and clinicians.... The authors are correct in describing the book as a 'single integrated sourcebook.'" (Doody's, March 25, 2002)

"Categories [...] are covered comprehensively and with the precision and clarity that has typified the collective bodies of published works by these three talented authors" "the authors have skillfully chosen to include complementary topics that are both timely and of great practical importance" "Perhaps the most significant entry is a chapter exploring an approach to reporting equivocal and borderline melanocytic neoplasia [...] Inclusion of this subject in The Melanocytic Proliferations should be applauded by all so fortunate to acquire this important book" (George F. Murphy, M.D., Human Pathology, Vol. 33, March 2002)
